the G4 cpu upgrade i had did the same thing and the only way to fix it was to remove a few extensions from being loaded which took away from away from the performance of the OS. this was on a new install of OS 9.2.2, i tryed it in tiger and the cpu enabler would not even work , yes i was useing the correct version of it. but i got tired of not being able to use it.or using a hampered OS. so i got a refund on it.

my problems all went away once i put a G3 cpu back into it. and regained full OS performance. the problem lies with the ATI extensions and sonnets extensions. i tryed running the G4 upgrade without the enabler installed both OSes would work but would be like i disabled acceleration in the ATI config panel in OS 9.x OS X would be dog slow like i was running it on a 100mhz cpu or in safe mode.

to me the G4 upgrade for the Beige G3 is crap. i will stick with a G3 upgrade for a Beige G3. now if i got the G4 upgrade for a Yikes or B&W with the hacked firmware then it would work correctly due to the fact the software enabler dont have to do much to enable the cpu cause the system already sees it as a G4 cpu and adjusts the software clock multiplier.

for me with the hampered OS 9.2.2 with the sonnet software running and the cpu working i was only shown 32k l1 cache and no L2 cache and showed up as a 60x series of cpu's. i checked over and over in the config utility that everything that was checked was checked and enabled but changed nothing about the cache issues.

ALK if your's works good then more power to you. cause mine was a total waste of my time.
